a X/X; number of positives/number of experiments, Cv was not calculated when some of the parallels failed to amplify; binhibition was observed in these reactions as decrease in efficiency of amplification; c well established TaqMan® based amplicons were analyzed in parallel as a reference system. Values within the dynamic range are shown in bold.
